The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0881s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 17, 2010 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2010. The committee held a work session on April 15, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 13, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 170–116. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2010, making it Chapter 189 of the session laws.
